[00:52] |
On a dark desert highway |
[00:55] |
Cool wind in my hair |
[00:58] |
Warm smell of colitas |
[01:01] |
Rising up through the air |
[01:05] |
Up ahead in the distance |
[01:08] |
I saw a shimmering light |
[01:11] |
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim |
[01:15] |
I had to stop for the night |
[01:18] |
There she stood in the doorway |
[01:21] |
I heard the mission bell |
[01:24] |
And I was thinking to myself |
[01:26] |
This could be Heaven or this could be Hell |
[01:31] |
Then she lit up a candle |
[01:34] |
And she showed me the way |
[01:37] |
There were voices down the corridor |
[01:40] |
I thought I heard them say |
[01:43] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |
[01:49] |
Such a lovely place |
[01:51] |
Such a lovely place (background) |
[01:53] |

[01:56] |
Plenty of room at the Hotel California |
[02:02] |
Any time of year |

You can find it here |
[02:11] |
Her mind is Tiffany twisted |
[02:13] |
She's got the Mercedes bends |
[02:16] |
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys |
[02:19] |
That she calls friends |
[02:23] |
How they dance in the courtyard |
[02:26] |
Sweet summer sweat |
[02:29] |
Some dance to remember |
[02:32] |
Some dance to forget |
[02:36] |
So I called up the Captain |
[02:39] |
Please bring me my wine |
[02:42] |
He said |
[02:43] |
We haven't had that spirit here since 1969 |
[02:49] |
And still those voices are calling from far away |
[02:55] |
Wake you up in the middle of the night |
[02:59] |
Just to hear them say |
[03:02] |
Welcome to the Hotel California |

[03:24] |
Bring your alibies |
[03:28] |
Mirrors on the ceiling |
[03:31] |
Depict champaign on ice |
[03:33] |
And she said |
[03:34] |
We are all just prisoners here |
[03:37] |
Of our own device |
[03:41] |
And in the master's chambers |
[03:44] |
They gathered for the feast |
[03:48] |
They stab it with their steely knives |
[03:51] |
But they just can't kill the beast |
[03:53] |
Last thing I remember |
[03:56] |
I was running for the door |
[04:00] |
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before |
[04:07] |
Relax said the nightman |
[04:10] |
We are programed to recieve |
[04:13] |
You can check out any time you like |
[04:16] |
But you can never leave |
